The Custom Spray SystemK-13 insulation is a thermal and acoustical commercial cellulose insulation typically used as an exposed ceiling finish requir ing no additional materials. K-13 meets project requirements for insulation (R-value), noise reduction (NRC), condensation control, texture, and color. Additionally, K-13 usually provides these features at lower installed prices than many common alternatives.

A Total System: Fiber, Binder, ApplicationK-13 i s a total system of recycled natural f ibers, chemical treatment, binding system, and application method. The K-13 system begins in a strict quality-controlled manufacturing process using specially prepared cellulose f ibers that are chemically treated to add resistance to fire, mold, and mildew.

K-13 is then applied by an international network of l icensed applicators through approved fiber machines and nozzles for control of the fiber/binder ratio. During application, the K-13 fibers combine with a patented water-based adhesive. This unique adhesive adheres to virtually any properly prepared substrate and standard material such as metal, wood, concrete, or glass. The finished product is a strong, durable monolithic coating of a predetermined thickness.

Naturally Tough – Naturally AttractiveAvailable in a variety of colors, K-13 is an ideal surface finish in both new construction and renovation projects.

K-13 is avai lable in seven standard colors and can also be specified in specially matched custom colors. Please contact us for more information on customizing your K-13 application.

Thermal PerformanceK-13 insulates by creating dead air spaces between and within its hollow fibers. Because K-13 fibers are sprayed-in-place, the mater ial f i l ls cracks, seams, and voids, forming a monolithic coat ing over the subst rate reducing ai r inf i l t rat ion. Unl ike prefabricated insulations, K-13 has no voids or compressed areas to reduce thermal efficiency. The result is a more effective in-place product with exceptionally low heat transfer characteristics and an R-value of 3.7 per inch.

The patented adhesive util ized in the installation of K-13 provides unequaled strength allowing applications from ¾” up to 5” thick without mechanical support. For an even higher R-value, we recommend the K-13 High-R System, a mechanically supported system for R-values exceeding R-19. For more information about the advantages of the K-13 High-R System, please visit www.spray-on.com/info/highr.

Condensation ControlFor areas such as indoor pools and ice arenas, K-13 aids in condensation control. The proper combination of K-13 and ventilation prevents condensation on metal, concrete and other surfaces. K-13 reduces ventilation requirements, saving in both the ventilation equipment investment operating costs.

System DescriptionCelbar is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers, organic in nature, treated with adhesive and fire-resistant chemicals. When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in a mass that produces excellent sound and thermal properties.

Celbar i s pneumat ica l ly sp ray- appl ied in wal l and f loor/cei l ing cavit ies to form a monol ith ic coating. This process seals cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical outlets, vent ducts, and other ir regularities. There are no compressed areas or voids to al low sound leaks, R-value reductions, or air infi ltration.

Performance Where It CountsCelbar provides superior sound transfer control demanded by building designers, owners, and occupants. Celbar assemblies perform closer to lab-tested STC ratings in the field than other convent ional batt and soundboard systems. Th i s super io r per formance is due to the complete coverage and seal ing action of Celbar.

Laboratory tests have proven that Celbar produces significantly higher STC values than other identically constructed wall systems.

Product LimitationsK-13, SonaSpray “fc”, and Celbar Spray should not be used in areas where there is prolonged exposure to heat in excess of 150°F (65°C). Nor should they be applied in areas requir ing a washable surface, or where combustible contaminants such as dust, oil, etc., exist. Accumulations of combustible contaminants may become hazardous as these contaminants will provide a fuel source that will burn when ignited and fire may spread. Celbar is applied with water and should not be sprayed on laminated wood paneling as it could cause warping. Celbar should not be used in areas where vinyl or foil wall covering or other vapor barriers are used on both sides of the wallboard,unless Celbar is allowed to dry completely before closing up the wall. Surfaces receiving K-13 and SonaSpray “fc” should be checked for poss ible contaminants, i .e., rust, d i r t, water stains, etc. prior to application. These areas should be sealed to prevent discoloration from surface contamination bleed through. For further information on limitations and precautions refer to ICC Technical Bulletin 001.
